EAST LANSING – Mark Dantonio uttered six seldom-used words to highlight the biggest problems in Michigan State’s fourth straight loss.
“Plan, structure, execution.”
“Outcoached, outtoughed, outplayed.”
MSU’s 10th-year coach tonight recapped his reeling Spartans’ 54-40 loss to Northwestern from a day earlier and called it “one of the more poor outings we’ve had on defense.”
“I think six games in, you expect more from our entire football team,” Dantonio said. “I don’t know that it’s one particular group of people, and I include coaches in that as well. … I’ll take the brunt of all this, and we have to do better.
